scalaconfig

ScalaConfig is a lightweight wrapper over Typesafe Lightbend Config library provides scala friendly access. It is implemented with type classes pattern and use shapeless for reading case classes.

Current documentation is a actual for 0.7 version.

ScalaConfig adds additional metods:

• as[A](path) - return Either[Seq[Throwable], A] by path in config object
• as[A] - convert config object to Either[Seq[Throwable], A]
• asUnsafe[A](path) - return value of type A by path in config object. On fail a first exception will thrown.
• asUnsafe[A] - convert config object to value of type A. On fail a first exception will thrown.

Supported types

• Primitive (Int, Long, Float, Double, Boolean)
• String, Symbol
• Typesafe Config and ConfigValue
• FiniteDuration
• Properties
• Collections (List[A], Set[A], Map[String, A], Map[String, AnyRef], Array[A], etc. All types with a CanBuildFrom instance are supported)
• Option[A]
• Case classes

Examples

import com.github.andr83.scalaconfig._

val config: Config = ConfigFactory.load()

val host   = config.asUnsafe[String]("host")
val port   = config.asUnsafe[Int]("port")
val path   = config.asUnsafe[Option[String]]("path")
val users  = config.asUnsafe[List[String]]("access.users")

case class DbConfig(host: String, port: Int, user: Option[String] = None, passwd: Option[String] = None)

val dbConfig: Reader.Result[DbConfig]               = config.as[DbConfig]("db")
val dbConfig2: Reader.Result[DbConfig]              = config.as[DbConfig] // Direct `config` mapping to case class
val dbConfig3: Reader.Result[Map[String, String]]   = config.as[Map[String, String]]
val dbConfig3: Reader.Result[Map[String, AnyRef]]]  = config.as[Map[String, AnyRef]]

// Custom reader 
class User(name: String, password: String)

implicit def userReader: Reader[User] = Reader.pure((config: Config, path: String) => {
    val userConfig = config.getConfig(path)
    new User(
      user = userConfig.asUnsafe[String]("name"),
      password = userConfig.asUnsafe[String]("password")
    )
  }
})

// OR
implicit def userReader: Reader[User] = Reader.pureV((config: Config, path: String) => {
    val userConfig = config.getConfig(path)
    
    val userE = userConfig.as[String]("name")
    val passwordE = userConfig.as[String]("password")
    
    // with Cats or Scalaz it can be of course more elegant!
    (userE, passwordE)  match {
      case (Right(user), Right(password)) => Right(new User(user, password))
      case ( Left(errors1), Left(errors2)) => Left(errors1 ++ errors2)
      case (Left(errors), _) => Left(errors)
      case (_, Left(errors)) => Left(errors)
    }
  }
})
